BofA: Investors pour into bonds, pull back from crypto
Investing.com -- Russia’s former President Dmitry Medvedev stated on Friday that the Russian economy would withstand the European Union’s latest sanctions package, while warning that Moscow would increase its military strikes against Ukraine.
Medvedev, who currently serves as deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, made these remarks after the EU approved its 18th package of sanctions against Russia over the war in Ukraine. The new measures specifically target Russia’s oil and energy industry.
In a message posted on his official Telegram channel, Medvedev claimed the new sanctions would be ineffective in changing Russia’s position on the conflict, suggesting that previous sanctions rounds had also failed to make an impact.
Medvedev, who has positioned himself as one of the Kremlin’s most hawkish figures, issued a direct threat regarding Russia’s military operations, stating: "Strikes against targets in so-called Ukraine, including Kyiv, will be carried out with increasing force."
